ive been trying to get hold of manga's for a while, but the only comic book shop where i live (forbidden planet) only sells the english versions, im looking for some with furigana, just as study aids or whatever.

will i need to resort to internet?, and does any one have have tips on good ones to get.

There have been several threads about this, you might try searching for them for suggestions.

Clay, our gracious host, carries a number of manga in the store. Sasuga Books, an American mail order Japanese book dealer, carries a number of manga; there may be a similar British company.

Manga aimed at children (shounen/shoujo manga) generally have furigana; at least one shounen magazine (Shounen Sunday) Weekly) carries sample chapters so you can choose a series you find interesting (look for links to 第一話 on each series' home page.)

yeah i was just wondering if anyone here knew where i could go to purchase in person, cos i really dont like the idea of paying £20+ shipping for a 3 quid manga, just thought mabye someone on here would know of somewhere in britain i could buy, that was all because if i use the internet, say to buyn from tjp store i'll end up paying a fortune in postage.

There are some shops in London where you can buy Japanese language manga in person, like the Japan Centre, just off Picadilly. But even if you did live in London I think yesasia would still be cheaper.
